While living in Colombia, he was accused of supporting José María Córdova's revolt against Simón Bolívar along the minister plenipotentiary and future president of the United States, William H. Harrison. As a result of his secondary participation in a plot against the Colombian President and his systematic involvement in local politics, Colombian Foreign Affairs Minister cancelled his diplomatic passport and asked him to leave the country.
